To mitigate financing risk, the strategy mandates setting metric-driven milestones for a 24-month cycle and triggering fundraising efforts only when roughly eight months of runway remain. Behavioral governance techniques, such as capping marketing spend against revenue and segregating half the capital into an inaccessible account, are recommended to enforce frugality and simulate a scenario where those funds do not exist.
